About
Hi There!
My name is Don Marges and I thought I would use this page to explain why I became an Entrepreneur and some of the experience that I have so that everyone who reads my blog knows that I’ve been through the same thing when setting up my home businesses.
I started out as a Computer Programmer up here in Canada of which I’m a native. I worked as a Research Assistant developing new kinds of software for various partners of the local College. Like most people, I didn’t “get” how business worked. What I mean by this is that I didn’t understand how businesses and organizations made money. Sadly, I didn’t realize this until I started my first home based business.
The first home business I started was a mobile games studio called Happy Face Studios. Because I didn’t understand how business worked, it didn’t do so well. But I was determined to learn how to “get” business, so I landed a job at a publishing company. They published music magazines so they weren’t “Technically Oriented” like my last job which was exactly what I wanted. It was there that I learned about Marketing, Advertising, Public Relations, Sales, Accounting, and Graphic Design. Most importantly, I “got” business. I understood the attitudes, mindsets, etc. that makes businesses successful.
Because of my new found skills, I got a great job working with a start-up software company where I continue to work to this day. I still run my game design studio as well as other successful home businesses that allow me to lead a comfortable and prosperous life.
I started this blog as a resource for people who were like me. For people who want to start their own businesses from home, but didn’t have the know-how.
I hope that I have some part in your path to success as a home based Entrepreneur. I also hope that I help you realize your dreams.
Good luck on all of your endeavours!
Don Marges
